THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JULY 11, 1898. WAITING FOR THE WORD “GOV! T was a very quiet Sunday at the headquarters of Major General Otls, who up to a late hour last night was expecting dispatches from ‘Washington in regard to the Hono- lulu annexation programme, and the sailing of the troop transports now ready for theilr departure for Manila, but no telegrams came. The situation therefore is unchanged from what is was on Saturday, and General Otis is yet uncertain as tb the date of his sall- ing, but he will in all probability get away some day this week. Admiral Miller has received no fur- ther advices, but expects full instruc- tions by mail in a day or two in regard to the ralsing of the American flag over the Hawaiian Islands.

Adjutant General Corbin Has Been Informed That the Regiment Is Ready for Assignment. CAMP BARRETT, Fruitville, July 10.— Colonel Henshaw received all of the mus- ter rolls of his command to-day and wired Adjutant General Corbin that he was ready to be assigned. No order had reached him late to-night designating the department to which he should report, but it Is expected early Monday morning. An inspection of arms w held this morn- ing, at which time it was learned that a greater portion of the men would have to have new rifles. The ones now in use are serviceable for drill and target practice, but a large portion of them have the rifle worn, the sights injured and the chambers sprung, which will necessitate their going requisition will be made for enough good guns from Benicia to replace these.

S gt L THE ENDEAVORERS. Good Work Done and Excel- lent Results Obtained by Them. The work of the Endeavorers has been growing so much within the past few weeks at Camp Merritt that it has been found necessary to double the force of workers. The medical department recetved a lib- eral supply of several kinds of medicine and is supplying scores of sick soldlers with the needful remedles. By request flowers are being sent in from the country to many of the Endeavorers, who in turn bring them out to the camp each morn- ing, and they are then taken by the mem- are also supplied.

Testaments are in great de- mand, and it is the endeavor of the com- fort bag committee to have each bag con- tain either a prayer book or a Testament. More Testaments are needed, as the sup- ply has run short. Special mention should be made of the fact that the soldiers stationed at the Fontana warehouse have been given many pleasant evenings by the Franklin- street Presbyterian Church. Many Endeavor Societies have been formed all over the camp by Robert Cle- land, the efficient chairman of the lookout committee of Golden Gate Union. Rev. Mr. Wood has given his whole time to Endeavor work at the camp for the gast several weeks and is deserving of the ighest praise for the splendid service he has rendered. Free Spanish lessons are given daily at the camp, full particulars concerning which can be obtained at the Endeavor | headquarters. —_— THEY ARE LOYAL Company D of the Eighth Is Ready to Fight the Spanjsh. WATSONVILLE, Cal., July 10.—A letter from Camp Barrett from one of the mem- bers of Company D, Eighth Regiment, California Volunteers, appeared in the ‘Watsonville Register this morning, of which the following is an extract: “Middleton acts the man. Do not be- lleve any rumors you may hear about our boys falling out of the company. We have enlisted for the war. We wanted E. A Middleton for second lieutenant, and after our arrival some of the boys decided to drop out if he was not appointed. When Middleton was informed of this he thanked us for our interest in him, but would not hear of any such action. He said it was not right and urged us to stand by the company whether he re- ceived a commission or not. Acting upon his advice we had a talk with Captain Elliott on the morning before we were mustered in and agreed to stand by him in peace or war. As our second lieutenant has not yet been appointed, we still hope that Middleton will get the place. He is all right, and there is nothing small about him. He has done everything he could for our comfort, and the boys ap- preciate his efforts.” Mr. Middleton recruited a body of fifty- three men and turned them over to Cap- tain Elliott of the above mentioned com- pany. This community is considerably wrought up over the announcement that Mr. Middleton will not receive a commis- sion. When the announcement of the offi- cers appointed to command the Righth | Regiment was made last week, the posi- tion of second lieutenant of Company D was left vacant, and it was hoped here that this position was being reserved for Mr. Middleton, but S. M. English was ap- pointed to the place, as published in to- day’s Call. e g T COL. SMITH’S TRIUMPH. The Leader of the First Tennes- see Ceptures BOO Union Vet- erans at Yountville. A scene remarkable and eignificant was witnessed at the Veterans’ Home, Yount- ville, California, last Saturday evening. The occasion was the annual meeting of the board of directors of the Home and the members of the Veterans' Home As- sociation. Among the distinguished vis- itors present was Colonel William C. Smith of the First Tennessee Volunteers, Wiao went there as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Blinn. The news of the arrival of the gallant soldier from Ten- nessee, who hag served with so much re- nown in the onfederate army, soon reached the Union veterans. To give all a chance to greet him it was declded to hold a _meeting at Social Hall in the evening. Vvhen Colonel Smith was intro- duced as a soldier who once wore the | gray and was now wearing the blue, 500 | veterans of the Union cause arose before the words of introduction had been ut- tered to the finish, and gave the soldier from Tennessee a mighty shout of wel- | come. The demonstration of greeting was renewed and prolonged. It was some min- utes before the veteran of the South could rally to respond in words to the magnificent ovation. He addressed the men_ before him as ‘Comrades,” and finally sought permission to cail them “Boys.” Then he related some incidents of the Richmond campaign and soon gained the earnest atteation of his audi- | ence. In the course of his speech, in which he dselt upon the blessings of a reunited country, he stepped to the flag, and, taking the staff in his hand, walked across the stage. The incident caused a tempest of cheers and shouts of approval. | The simple and soldlerly style of Colonel | Smith’s address won the hearts of all the | veterans. The reception was continued until a late hour. Nellie Holbrook Blinn | delighted the audience with appropriate recitations. Mrs. Dr. Keables, wife of the | | medical director, accompanied by Mrs. C. | | A. La Rue, sang for the pleasure of the | veterans. Colonel Waltz, commandant of the Home, was the master of the patriotic exercises. Brief speeches were made by | the veterans belonging to the board and | the assoclation. War Incidents.

Private John Dale, Company H, South Dakota, who on Saturday was accident- ally shot through the right lung, now lies in the regimental hospital In a very pre- carious condition and may not recover. Dale *‘was cleaning his rifle, which hs claims had been loaded by some one with- out his knowledge. The weapon was dis- charged, the ball entering his right breast, passing entirely through the lung and coming out under the shoulder blade. The wound is a dangerous one, and will, no doubt, prove fatal.

The latter class of bettors, after during the morning’s running, were dealt some severe setbacks as the afternoon wore on.

The first surprise the talent received occurred in the first round. Hobson went out and defeated the sure winner High Born Lady, and their purses were sadly | depleted.

Second L1ey, 1340 RIFLEMEN T0 SHOOT HARD Polishing Up for the Coming Bund. CANNOT BEGIN TOO SOON GOOD SCORES TO START WITH AT SHELL MOUND. Dr. Rodgers. Schuster, Pape and Others Forge Ahead With Rifle and Pistol — Others ‘Will Follow, The decision of the National Schuetzen- Bund to hold its next festival in this city was the principal topfc of conversation at | the Shell Mound rifle range yesterday. This event {s of no small importance, not only to the riflemen of the West, but to | the public in general. The most active members of the Bund are among the wealthiest men of the United States and wherever they go they spend money very freely. More than that the Bund offers prizes, cash and merchandise, that amount to thousands of dollars. This shooting event takes place every three vears and riflemen from all over the United States and HBurope are sure to attend. From all accounts there are between 2,000 and 3,000 now at the festival that is taking place, and closes to-day, at the big Glendale range on Long Island, N. Y. As has been | announced, there are several of Califor- nia’s best shots at this event, and it was through their efforts that the Bund de- cided to come to this city in 1901 The range across the bay was well filled yesterday, for all that this is the time of the year that most people go out of town for their summer vacations. Several good scores were made. Dr. L. O. Rodgers was one of those who had cause to rejoice. In the 20-shot class contest of the Germania Schuetzen Club he made 451 points, one oint less than the record of the club. Dr. odgers is also a member of the Colum- bia Pistol and Rifle Club, and on the 50- | yard pistol range he made 43, Columbia target count, whichis the best he has done in a class contest. Another whose success was worth spe- cial noticé was F. P. Schuster. In the Norddeutcher buliseye contest he stood high with 638 points, machine measure- ment, and won first money. This shot also ‘won for him a ‘)rlze of no small value. It was a beautiful rocking chair presented by John Thode and F. Hagemann Jr. An- other of the same club who was proud of what he had done was Gus Schulz. He carried off the elegant medal presented by | Captain L. Siebe for the best three bulls | ng the year ending June 30, H, Pape of the San Francisco Schuet- zeén. Verein carried off the Champion medal, having won it four times in suc- cession.

Miller of the Church of the Holy Spirit occupied the pulpit at the Simpson Memorial Church on Hayes and Buchanan streets last night. Taking his text from St. John, viii:32, he read the President’s proclamation requesting the nation's prayers on the Sabbath following its publication. The language in this proclamation he compared with words | which were expressed by Abraham Lin- coln at the time when the nation was en- gaged in the Civil War, now happily ended for all time. The present war he believed to be in | keeping with the divine command of God, who said: “Let my people be free that tney may worship me.” The war in which | the nation is now engaged is a battle for | truth against error—light against dark- ness and superstition. Jesus said, “That we ghall know the truth.” The echo of | Sampson’s and Shafter's guns is_the | voice of God heard proclaiming these lwords against a nation that gave birth to the inquisition, one of the most cruel and tyrannical institutions ever planted on the earth by man; a nation that hates the truth and will fight to keep it out of its dominion. But the will of God is stronger than that of any nation, and now the truth will be known in Spain through the instrumentality of the liberty-loving peo- lo of the United States, as made mani- Y\x‘l in the words of God. “This is the second time that Spain un- dertook to crush truth. The first was when that nation sent its ships to Eng- land to crush out light and truth in the reign of Queen Elizabeth; and what was the consequence? The entire fleet was destroyed on the shores of England just | a8 it has been by Sampson on the shores | of Cuba and on the shores of Manila by the brave Dewey: and the arms of Spain will get the final blow at the hands of ghu.h.cr, the hero, in the course of a few a Mysterious is the way of the Lord. Over 300 years ago a small band of Hu- guenots, driven out of their own country because they believed in the truth, set- tled in Florida. Their presence there s communicated to the court of Spain and an army of soldiers was sent across the ocean which butchered this innocent band of brave men and women. Now, how- ever, the Lord in his wisdom has seen fit to make the same locality the scene of planting the truth of the gospel on the shores of Florida. So it is that God has selected this nation to be the instrument of spreading the truth throughout the world, against the nation that originated the inquisition. America has a great duty thrust upon it in this war; it is to spread light, liberty and truth to the far east, and, in fact, to the entire world. The days of darkness, fgnorance and superstition will in a short time disappear, and in their stead liberty and freedom will shine on all of God's creatures. —_————————— CAFE SPRECKELS, Iith floor, Call bullding, | & now under management of Mr. Albert Woiff, formerly proprietor of Maison de 1'Opera, Oakland.

A larger crowd than the average visited the Park, Cliff House and Chutes yester- day. Sutro's Baths were also well patron- ized by admirers of aquatic sports, and they were not disappointed. Boys in blue by the score entered in the various co test and the breaking of the world’s rec- ord and many close finishes added to the excitement. The various contests resulted as follows: %0-yard dash, Utah Volunteers—F. Harkness, first; E. Kavanaugh, second. Under-water diving with regimentals—F. Me- Dermott, champlon of Australia, dove 60 yards and asserted it to be the world's record; Lee le_Rue, second. yard dash, Nebraska Volunteers—J. Mil- ler, first; N. S. Seaman, second.

Clough, second. has changed hands The new electric road from the end of | Haight street to the CHUff House began operation yesterday. Notwithstanding the fact that ‘everything in connection with the road needed adjustment, owing to newness, no accidents occurred and many commented on the advantages of the new system over the old steam road, with its accompanying dust, smoke and cinders. a+E+a+ Nothing That Has Merit Can Be Kept Down. Some Wonderful Cures. The day has come when merit only and | ocan win. If a man claims that he can cure a weakness or & pain which has existed for years he must back his claim with proof. This is the reason for Dr. Sanden's great success. He has shown 10,000 testimonials of dures dur- ing the past three years. The people are close at home and can be seen to prove their assertions. Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt is the most popular cura- tive remedy known to-day. It cures, and therefore people prefer it to drugs or the cheap, trashy belts so0ld in drug stores. His book, “Three Classes of Men,” Pevoted to the weaknesses of men, tells the cause of early decay in young and middle-aged men. He shows how electricity, properly ap- plied, will restore this power, and gtves the proof. It is free upon ap- plication.

The human body is more delicate than th finest mechanism, more sensitive th: ) tenderest plant. To shatter the liver with mercury, to madden the nerves with mor- phine and chloral and to flay and burn the stomach with every pofson blacklisted with skull and crossbones is torture more de- moniac than the Inquisition.
